My mom bought this frame for me. At first I was unsure if I would be able to figure out how to build it on my own, but decided to give it a try and was happily surprised that I was able to put it together by myself. None of the individual wood pieces are explicitly labeled, so I decided to sort them into different piles based on shape to make it easier to figure out. The bad review on here with the wobbly bed was built wrong, and I almost made a similar mistake. All of the holes are pre/drilled and it can be easy to put pieces together incorrectly, which can cause other stuff not to line up. The legs have to go on the inside of the frame, which I did on one side, but accidentally put the other leg on the outside and then realized my mistake. The legs are held in place using a thing called a clevis pin which lets them fold up, but they have to be on the inside of the frame so that they arent in the way when you fold the bed up. The instructions are very clear, just be sure to carefully read and follow all of the steps and you shouldnt have any problems. This frame did require me to use a drill to put a few wood screws in place, which hold the two slatted pieces in place, but the holes for the screws are already half way in the wood so you dont have to guess at where to put them. The rest of the pieces connect using little wooden pegs that you can just push into place. Its was really easy to assemble, and when I was finished, I was able to fold it up and carry it to the bedroom. Im not super strong, so it was a little heavy, but still manageable. Its a very sturdy and quiet frame, and Im really happy with it. There isnt a lot of storage space under the bed, but its enough to slide a 34 x 16 x 6 Sterilite bin under it.
Follow the instructions and youll love it
